I got interested in archery kind of by accident. When I was in middle school, we had a…read moreShakespearean festival, which included archery among other things. The bows they had were these cheap compounds (with the wheels) intended for children... which in fairness, we were. Well that, and one step up is five times the cost. At some point many years after, I found this place. I was excited to try my hands at archery once again. Even though this place is a little out of the way, I still venture out here when I want to have a go of being a sort of Robin Hood, only one who is not nearly as good of a shot. I. Cost - Their rates are extremely reasonable for what you get. Shooting on the range is $12/hour if you bring your own equipment, and only $14 to borrow theirs. This cost includes instruction too! This is not a private lesson, but they will help you along the way with stance, aim, draw, and other such basics. II. Staff - their staff are some of the nicest, most patient people I have met! Whether they are telling you the 1st time or 101st time to bring your hand to your ear, they are just as patient and calm. Also, during my time shooting, adjusting the draw weight (on the compound) as well as the sight to my ideal levels was a non issue. III. Range - The range is pretty nice! It is well lit, fairly spacious, and they have targets at two different distances, although, I couldn't tell you what they are. I can however tell that the shorter distance is great for beginners... not so far that it becomes discouraging, but close enough that it is fairly challenging. When you are shooting, do be careful of obstacles like pipes or columns... but if you stay in your lane, you should be fine. IV. Equipment - Out of the bows you are able to rent there are recurves (think Robin Hood) and Compound bows (with wheels). I am fond of the latter, but must say the Genesis bow (make of compound) is not my favorite thing in the world. The reason for this is (don't quote me on this) compounds have a let off in weight when fully drawn. The Genesis bows do not (at least not a very significant one). I will not penalize this place for that because these are fairly cheap (~$100), durable, easily adjustable, and according to online markets a great entry level bow for people of all ages. When it comes to equipment, think of it in parallel with bowling . If you are just there to bowl for a bit of fun, you have entry level equipment (balls, shoes) that are durable, and good for those who don't take the sport too seriously. Same thing here, the bows and arm-guards aren't spectacular, and there is no mechanical release provided. If you come to shoot for an hour for fun, you probably don't care that much. As for me, I'd like to keep it casual for now... but even if I end up taking archery more seriously, I will not hesitate at returning to this place to practice!

The ROC Race was a blast - it was real-life wipeout without so many of the faceplants! My team and…read moreI stayed together and got through each obstacle together. More importantly, the volunteers and folks running each obstacle were friendly, fun, and kept the energy levels up, even in the rain. So why the 3 stars? Like other folks have commented: - Very Expensive Race: In addition to a $60 registration fee, there was a $5 "convenience fee" charge for picking up race packets the day of at Gillette Stadium, instead of the day before in Mansfield. I'm not driving 1.5 hours out of my way to pick up my race packet; I don't think they even offered an option for it to be mailed to participants. They also charged a $10/pp fee for parking, even though we all carpooled together. The organizers must have made a killing on this fee alone. - Minimal Swag: I am disappointed in the lack of swag bags. The paper-thin cotton T-shirt they offered as a consolation prize for finishing the race was just not enough of an award for falling into murky, bleach flavored water at the Wrecking Ball obstacle. The vendors that sponsored the race were few and far between. And where's my medal and/or silly race favor (like a hat)? - Spectator Viewing: The bf's mom came to watch us all run, and could only set up shop at the last obstacle (the World's Largest Inflatable Slide). Given how spread out the course is, that's expected, but it would have been nice to allow spectators to follow runners throughout the course if they wanted. - Lack of Photographers: There was only one official photographer we encountered, and that was during Foam of Fury. At other 5Ks, there were photographers at every obstacle, ready to photograph runners conquering and being plain awesome. For the fee we paid, I'm shocked that a professional photography company was not employed. - Lack of Refreshments: No food and no beer make me go something something ... we were hoping for adult beverages and munchies after the race. None were found, so we made our way to Patriot Place to eat. - Wait Times: Even though we had a 10AM start time, we had some major bottlenecks at the Jump Balls and Wrecking Ball obstacles. I think we waiting at least 10-15 minutes just to get through the Jump Ball obstacle. - Lack of Wash Off Stations: With all the foam there was, I was surprised that there was no wash off station where I could hose off the foam I was covered in. I suppose all the water was diverted to keeping the water slides slick. Overall, we had fun, but in retrospect, I think the ROC Race organizers certainly have some work to do to bring the experience of this race to the level of the Warrior Dash or Spartan Sprint.

This was my first obstacle race and also my first 5k (since running them daily in college during…read morelacrosse practice...woof). POSITIVES- The course: It was really spread out and there was a nice distribution of running and completing an obstacle. It was raining all day which I actually thought was better since it saved my skin some serious sun burn. Also...you're gonna get wet anyways. Staffing: Checkin was a breeze. Bag check was simple and convenient. I had raised money for the Challenged Athletes Foundation and had to go through a bit of a process to collect the items you're supposed to receive for raising certain target goals. I raised over $500 and had no record of even being a fundraiser. I had to present emails from C.A.F. staff conferming my fundraiser status. After that...the staff was more than helpful at helping me collect all the items. Price: I thought the price was fair (especially since we signed up months ago and got a bargain). The $5 "convenience" fee for packet pick-up wasn't that big of a deal. I would have rather paid for parking upon arrival...$10 pp was a bit much. Basically they got $30 for my one car. Lame. I also got my registration fee refunded for reaching a $250+ goal for the C.A.F. fundraiser. Not a bad incentive for a great cause. Food/Vendors/Post-Race: I didn't see any food vendors and merch tents were spare. There also wasn't anything set up for post-race. It didnt really look like anyone was sticking around anyways due to the rain. I talked with some staff and they said usually there was food and a beer garden but weather squashed that. NEGS- Photos: We only encountered 2 photographers on the whole course...and had to ASK one for a group shot. The other one was taking "wipe out" photos of select people. I would have loved to taken more pictures but a combination of the rain and water obstacles pretty much shut that idea down. They also had a foam area set up at the end of the course for photos...but no one taking pictures. Changing tents: didn't realise this was a thing. There weren't any. I brought a change of clothes and towel and we all changed in the car. Post-Race/Food/Beer: There was nothing....I would have enjoyed hanging out after the race with other runners. SWAG Bags: I've had friends run other races and they always come home with bags of things either race related or donated by local companies. All you got here was a tshirt. Somethings better than nothing....but still. A towel would have been nice. (Note: I actually received over $200 in items for raising money for the C.A.F. charity. I got my registration returned: $69, an upgraded tech shirt: $20, a C.A.F. zip up hoodie: $40, R.O.C. Race Sweat band set: $20? and a pair of frogskin Oakley sunglasses: $110.....so that was actually pretty rad). OBSTACLES- Me and buddy were running in kilts so there are some raspberries in places due to some sand on a couple obstacles. No biggy, though. The Gorilla Bars: They were very slippery from the rain. They had them taped to try and help but it didn't do much. My height was also an issue (I'm 6'4"). I didn't have enough clearance from the mat to be able to build up any swing/momentum. Worlds Largest Moonbounce: This one was fun. You hop down to about 30 yards...jump up 5FT to another level of bounciness....then jump down to the last bounce out. In total...oprobably about 50 yards long. Tight Rope Traverse: One rope for hands...one for feets. Actually pretty fun! Get Up and Over: Just a line of wooden walls of various heights. We went over the highest. Kilt was not a smart clothing option for this one. Sweeper: Lolz! Time it right and run like a bastard across the balance beam. THe slide down was unexpected and fun. Cool Runnings: Carrying an inner tube about 50 feet up the incline was a challenge on its own. The slide down was really fast. If you were dry up to this point...you ain't dry no mo. The ending is splash into a 3FT deep pool. Wee! Foam of Fury: Line up along one of the lanes...run...jump...dive...slide! Try to keep your mouth shut...the foam tasted funny. The Drop: Run about 20-30Ft up an inflated incline using the rope and then slide out the other side! Weeeee!!!!!! Jump Balls: We all made it to the first one....and that was it. Be prepared to eat it...bad. This was another where my height played an issue. My head was in the netted ceiling to the obstacle so I couldn't really jump. Tarzan Swing: Meh. Swing on a rop for about 10FT.... Wrecking Ball: Put on the life jacket and try to run across a floating 20FT pad without getting hit by the GIANT dodgeballs swing around by an overhead crane. I made it about 2/3 of the way before splashing into the pool. World's Largest Inflatable Water Slide: One word...AWESOME!!!!
